If you understood the damage to mankind caused by fiat currencies, then you would see that at 5%, it would be well worth the price. Anything appears wasteful if you don't appreciate the reward it provides. Ultimately the market will decide. The bitcoin network pays for the energy it uses, just as the gamer community pays for the energy it uses. If bitcoin isn't worth it's energy use, then it will use less energy as people won't be willing to pay the transaction fees and the miners will be paid less.
